@AlanChatham @nickcammarata yeah true, it's one thing to dream of a revolution, wipe out all the current corruption & inefficiency- but by the time you rebuild you'll have a new system also full of inefficiencies & corruption, perhaps even worse from ppl profiting from the disruption... I still have that impulse but I've shifted how I think about the feeling- honor the impulse for simplicity among overwhelming complexity, the impulse for justice in a world where a lot of bad stuff still happens, the impulse for generosity - taking care of ppl in a system that imposes constraints & doesn't give everyone everything they want... but channel it into doing what I can, incremental improvement, rather than unproductive idealism
